I asked you what you would call the present form of government in Iraq, not a U.N. definition.

As to my teaching career - As an educator you have only two choices.

1. Teach to maintain the status quo
or
2. Teach for political change

I too, am glad I didn't teach your children. However, I might have been able to educate your child to become critically conscious and saved him from your tyranny and the pressure to risk his life for an unjust cause.

I would also have taught your son that personal attacks are no substitute for a reasonable discussion.

Can you please tell me more about the massive strides that have been achieved toward national, political reconcilliation and what decisions have been made regarding the distribution of oil revenues?
